Functoriality of D-brane subcategories under generalised N=2 morphisms

From papers

Let Γ\Gamma and Γ\Gamma' be lattices with quadratic forms qq and qq', let g:(ΓΓ,q)(ΓΓ,q)g:(\Gamma\oplus\Gamma^*,q)\to(\Gamma'\oplus{\Gamma'}^*,q') be a lattice isomorphism, and let (ϵL,ϵR)=(±1,±1)(\epsilon_L,\epsilon_R)=(\pm1,\pm1). For (I,J)TN=2(Γ)(I,J)\in\mathscr{T}_{N=2}(\Gamma) and ϵ=±1\epsilon=\pm1, write CI,Jϵ(X)\mathcal{C}_{I,J}^{\epsilon}(X) for the A- or B-brane category, with ϵ=1\epsilon=-1 for A-type and ϵ=1\epsilon=1 for B-type. Put (I,J)=μg(ϵL,ϵR)(I,J)(I',J')=\mu_g^{(\epsilon_L,\epsilon_R)}(I,J). D-brane functoriality conjecture. There exists a functor

Φg,ϵ(ϵL,ϵR):CI,Jϵ(X)CI,JϵLϵRϵ(X)\Phi_{g,\epsilon}^{(\epsilon_L,\epsilon_R)}:\mathcal{C}_{I,J}^{\epsilon}(X)\longrightarrow\mathcal{C}_{I',J'}^{\epsilon_L\epsilon_R\epsilon}(X')

for all such (I,J)(I,J) and ϵ\epsilon, and these functors satisfy

Φg2,ϵL,1ϵR,1ϵ(ϵL,2,ϵR,2)Φg1,ϵ(ϵL,1,ϵR,1)Φg2g1,ϵ(ϵL,2ϵL,1,ϵR,2ϵR,1),\Phi_{g_2,\epsilon_{L,1}\epsilon_{R,1}\epsilon}^{(\epsilon_{L,2},\epsilon_{R,2})}\circ\Phi_{g_1,\epsilon}^{(\epsilon_{L,1},\epsilon_{R,1})}\cong\Phi_{g_2\circ g_1,\epsilon}^{(\epsilon_{L,2}\epsilon_{L,1},\epsilon_{R,2}\epsilon_{R,1})},

where \cong denotes isomorphism of functors. This would make the A- and B-brane subcategories functorial under generalised N=2N=2 morphisms, interchanging them when ϵLϵR=1\epsilon_L\epsilon_R=-1 and preserving them when ϵLϵR=1\epsilon_L\epsilon_R=1; the source does not report a proof.
